Rules of the Road
Keep to the right side of the road centerline when meeting other vehicles coming in the
opposite direction. Ride to left of center of your lane to avoid oily pavement ahead.
Always sound your horn, actuate your turn signals, and exercise caution when passing other
vehicles going in the same direction. Never try to pass another vehicle going in the same
direction at street intersections, on curves, or when going up or down a hill.
At street intersections give the right of way to the vehicle on your right. Do not presume you
have the right of way, as the other driver may not know it is your turn.
Always signal when preparing to stop, turn or pass.
All traffic signs, including those used for the control of traffic at intersections, should be
obeyed promptly. SLOW DOWN signs near schools and CAUTION signs at railroad
crossings should always be observed and your actions governed accordingly.
When intending to turn to the left, signal at least 100 feet (30.5 meters) before reaching the
turning point. Move over to the centerline of the street (unless local rules require otherwise),
slow down, enter the intersection of the street and then turn carefully to the left.
Never anticipate a traffic light. When a change is indicated from GO to STOP (or vice versa)
in the traffic control systems at intersections, slow down and wait for the light to change.
Never run through a yellow or red traffic light.
While turning either right or left, watch for pedestrians, animals, as well as vehicles.
Do not leave the curb or parking area without signaling. Be sure your way is clear to enter
moving traffic. A moving line of traffic always has the right of way.
Be sure your license plate is installed in the position specified by law and is clearly visible at
all times. Keep the plate clean.
Ride at a safe speed that is consistent with the type of highway you are on. Pay strict
attention to whether the road is dry, oily, icy or wet.
Watch for debris such as leaves or loose gravel.
Weather and traffic conditions on the highway dictate adjusting your speed and driving
habits accordingly.
